Put Complex HR and Technology Skills to Work Now

When you graduate from Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s MSHRAM program, you’ll be a stronger candidate for advanced leadership roles. Your experience in HR technologies, design thinking, company culture, and analytics, positions you as the professional companies need to reach their goals and solve complex challenges.

Provide the In-Demand Skills

Recently, the SEC proposed modernizing Regulation S-K so public companies would have to report on a wider set of human capital information such as retention and turnover, productivity, incentives for innovation, and training costs.¹

Successful HR professionals rely on new technologies to improve Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) efforts, standardize job titles, use performance reviews and goal setting effectively, award raises, track important trends, and contribute toward positive organizational growth.

Surveys on human capital trends in 2020 and 2021Ìýreport that companies consistently lack professionals who know how to make that happen.

• 53% of respondents said between 50-100% of their workforce will need to change their skills and capabilities in the next three years.¹
• 70% of global employers say they can’t find candidates with the right mix of technical skills and human capabilities.²
• 71% of organizations say governing changing workforce strategies is needed, but only 8% say they are very ready to address this trend.¹
• 80% of respondents in our executive focus groups said leadership readiness will be the biggest internal barrier to their ability to achieve their future strategies.²
• 85% of this year’s survey respondents believe that the future of work raises ethical challenges— but only 27% have clear policies and leaders in place to manage them.¹

Opportunities Abound: Create a Better Work Environment for Employees

Without people who know how to use technologies to improve the conditions of human capital, companies falter and even lose money — within a year, billions of dollars’ worth of valuation have been lost because of issues related to leadership and culture,^1Ìýa prevalent issue among companies surveyed.

• 55% of U.S. workers felt that leadership did not take action in addressing racial justice — they only wrote or spoke about it.²
• Just 34% of respondents reward workers for entrepreneurial behavior, despite 84% saying that supporting the development of those skills was important or very important.¹
• Only 14% say they’re ready to address the ethics related to the future of work, though 75% of organizations say it’s needed for success.
